it's when I see stuff like this that it becomes hard as all hell not to think we are doomed to self driven extinction via an extended period of Idiocracy. Fundamentally, AI is so appealing because it promises all the rewards with none of the work. If that isn't seriously damaging to the human collective, I don't know what is. Hence the reason I'm sworn off the stuff, as much as possible anyway. I will never, ever directly use it to do anything. My brain is a precious gift from the universe that needs exercise and challenge to ensure its relevancy.
Of course, it now decides much of what gets presented to me by way of algorithm, but that's beyond my control unless I just ditch the internet in its entirety. A thought, by the way, which has crossed my mind more than once.
